   Dr. Geezer versus Dr. Young   
   20 Apr 16 16:22:39   
   
   An old geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a medical   
   clinic.   
       
   He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's clinic. Get your treatment   
   for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."   
       
   Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about   
   medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000. So he went   
   to Dr. Geezer's clinic.   
       
   Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help   
   me?"   
       
   Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr.   
   Young's mouth."   
       
   Dr. Young: Aaagh!! -- "This is Gasoline!"   
       
   Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."    
   Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to   
   recover his money.   
       
   Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory; I cannot remember anything."   
       
   Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the   
   patient's mouth."   
       
   Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- that is Gasoline!"   
       
   Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."   
       
   Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after   
   several more days.   
       
   Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak -- I can hardly see anything!   
       
   Dr. Geezer: (Giving him a $10 bill) "Well, I don't have any medicine for that   
   so, here's your $1000 back."   
       
   Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!   
       
   Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."   
       
       
   Moral of story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can   
   outsmart an "old Geezer."   
       
   Remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first   
   place, so it doesn't take much to rile us.   
       
       
   Regards,   
       
   Roger
